Chapter 1124
Nicole walked over and checked the shipment.
"It's good," she said. "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing. When can you pick them up?" Martin asked, looking at Nicole.
"We can get them today." Nicole glanced at Carl.
"Okay. I'll arrange for the workers to load them in the truck right away," Martin said, and went over to instruct Charles.
"Let's head upstairs for a little chat while we wait." Martin extended his palm in a gesture of invitation.
At that exact moment, a luxury car pulled up at the factory, with everyone looking at it. A tall figure got out of the car, revealing Jared, who proceeded to glance at everyone as he approached them. 11
Upon seeing that it was Jared, Nicole glanced at Martin, who quickly explained, "I didn't tell him."
"I was not expecting you to be here," Jared told Nicole with a look of surprise on his face.
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be here either." Nicole looked at Jared with a blank stare.
"Mr. Johnston, are you here to inspect our work?"
As soon as he had gotten Nicole to believe that he was not here for her, he had to clear the suspicions in front of Nicole. Jared proceeded to glance at Martin, understanding what he had meant.
Then, he looked at Nicole with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. "Yes, I am here to inspect the work. What are you all doing here?"
"We came here to pick our goods up. If Mr. Johnston has nothing else to ask, we will be on our way," Nicole responded, giving Carl a wink.
As the two walked over to the workers in charge of loading the cargo, Jared noticed that Nicole was still angry. His face became downcast as soon as he saw this.
"Martin, what are these?" Jared looked at Martin and asked.
"Oh, Nicole ordered a batch of goods from us, and now that the production is complete, we are delivering it," Martin explained.
"Nicole ordered an entire batch of Beacons?"
"Yes."
Jared walked to where Nicole was loading the goods. "Nicole, why haven't I heard of you mentioning this before?"
"Mr. Johnston, you have a lot of things to manage on a daily basis.
I don't think you should be concerned about trivial matters like these," Nicole said, deliberately ignoring his anger.
Jared took Nicole's hand and pulled her to the side.
"Why are you pulling me? Let me go!" Nicole broke free from his grasp.
"Where were you staying yesterday?" Jared could not help but ask.
"Do I have to report to you where I live too?" Nicole glared at him.
"You know that's not what I meant." Jared said, with the second half of the sentence remaining unsaid. "How long are you going to be staying elsewhere?"
"If you're just here to ask me about this, I've got nothing to say to you. There is much work to be done," Nicole said, after which she left and walked over to Carl.
"How long will it take for us to load the truck up?" Nicole asked Carl.
